Fantastic day at White Moss near Beith removing invasive🌲🌲from this lovely #raisedbog with Harry & the SWT Ayrshire volunteers. Huge amount accomplished today to protect this 7,000+ year old raised bog including dismantling an old pheasant run and removing hundreds of old tree guards. Wildlife highlights: Woodcock, Brown Haré, Roe deer and lots and lots of lovely Sphagnums.
